Strategy tips

Read the question carefully before looking at the choices. Many AP Macro questions have answers that look almost identical; small wording differences (movement vs. shift, absolute vs. comparative advantage) matter.

Eliminate before guessing. AP Macro distractors often describe a real concept that just doesn't answer the question being asked. Cross out anything irrelevant first.

If a price changes, think movement. If anything else changes, think shift. This distinction is the most-tested idea in Unit 1.

Read the explanations even when you got it right. Each one teaches a small fact that often returns in a different form on the exam.
